Tickets are now on sale for the seventh annual Noon to Night: Fall Fashion Benefit at Avalon, which raises money for Bert’s Big Adventure and features BBA kids and local personalities showcasing fall fashions from the many retailers at Alpharetta’s Avalon.

Bert’s Big Adventure was established back in 2002 by Bert Weiss of "The Bert Show," and is best known for taking kids with terminal and chronic illnesses and their families on a five-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World. Along with these magical adventures, the nonprofit serves more than 250 families year-round with various programs.
